Currently re-watching Mad Men, which is great. Hearing good things about the mini-series The Queen's Gambit, but haven't seen it yet.

I've recently joined and gave it a try and so far I'm impressed. Gotta use it some more to form an opinion, and I had a few bits of feedback to them about the UI (especially how dates are formatted)..

Recent (august 24) interview with Ackman, hour-long:

I enjoyed this interview with Matthew Walker about sleep science: https://peterattiamd.com/matthewwalker4/

Yeah, amazing stuff. Last night wife and I watched episode 1 of this NHK documentary. Followed Miyazaki during the early days of the making of Ponyo. Really great to see his creative process, and to realize how much of it is coming straight out of his head and drawings: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/10yearshayaomiyazaki/?type=tvEpisode&

It would still be valuable, but A LOT less. A LOT. TikTok basically is its algo. It's not based nearly as much on a social graph or an interest graph as other social media companies. The algo does all the heavy lifting.

Been going through the Miyazaki movies for the first time with my family. So far it's all been big hits, awesome stuff. In order: Ponyo (2008), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) and The Cat Returns (2003?). Highly recommended, especially if you have young kids. This page gives an idea of what movies are good for what age range: https://offspring.lifehacker.com/how-to-introduce-your-kid-to-studio-ghibli-1825737607

Is he the guy that used to have a blog called AboveAverageOdds ? I lost so much money following some of his recommendations in my earlier years of investing...

I re-watched (for the 3rd time, I think) 'Up in the Air' (2009) last night. It holds up. Still liking it quite a bit, and the 2009 recession context kinds of fits today's environment. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193138/ I love that Sad Brad Smith song, "Help Yourself".

I'm about 2/3 of the way through "The Innocence Files" on Netflix, and I think everybody should watch it. Well made and very interesting, but also important information about the real reliability of things like forensics experts, eye witnesses, etc, vs the perceived reliability (that people mostly get through TV and film and such).
